Cardiac
This cardiac force can be corrected with fluid or blood administration
What is Preload?
This shock state is characterized by bradycardia and hypotension.
What is the urine output goal?
What is 0.5ml/kg/hr?
This assessment finding is key to identifying a potential cause of death and is routinely done on all patients in the hospital.
What is Temperature?
(Documentation and assessment of Temperature is key)
This screening tool is used for Alcohol abuse
What is Audit-C or CRAFFT?
This cardiac force is the pressure the ventricle must eject its contents against.
What is afterload (PVR/SVR)
This population does not have the ability to increase their tidal volume in response to chest injury.
What is the pediatric patient?
This simple bedside test can show how responsive a patient will be to fluid
What is passive leg raise?
Administration of large volumes of crystalloids negatively affects this part of the Diamond of Death
What is coagulopathy.
(Maximum recommended crystalloid administration is 1L).
This respiratory assessment in children may not present obvious signs of pneumothorax.
What are lung sounds?
(Children have more resonate lung sounds than adults)
This law is the basis of cardiac contractility.
What is Frank-Starlings Law?
This pH level in the body hinders vasopressor ability to work.
What is less than 7.30?
This diagnostic procedure can be performed at bedside and evaluates fluid status.
What is Ultrasonography? (IVC Check)
What is 50%
This injury is seen more frequently in the pediatric population.
What is Internal Decapitation?
Poor oxygenation, increased intrathoracic pressure, acidosis, and inadequate calcium all negatively effect this hemodynamic reading.
What is Cardiac output?
Tachycardia, muffled heart tones and hypotension represent this medical emergency
What is Becks Triad (Cardiac tamponade)?
This nursing bedside assessment can indicate how well the patient is being perfused.
What is Acidosis?
What is tachycardia?
What is Pulse Pressure?
This medical emergency is characterized by respiratory distress, diminished lung sounds on specific side, JVD, tracheal deviation.
What is tension pneumothorax?
Sodium bicarbonate is NOT the best treatment for this acid/base state
What is Metabolic Acidosis?
(if patient remains metabolically acidotic, PRBC's may need to be administered).
This electrolyte imbalance places the patient at greater risk for bleeding after multiple blood transfusions.
What is hypocalcemia?
The metabolic demand of this patient population is high.
What is pediatric population?
